2022-23 No Valid License Audit Reporting Due August 31, 2023

Thank you for taking the time to review and enter your agency responses in WISEgrants.

Each LEA, Independent Charter School (ICS), CESA and CCDEB has an obligation to employ appropriately licensed staff, including special education staff. Staff must be appropriately licensed for a special education work assignment listed in state statute for their salary and benefits or contracted cost to be eligible for aid.

FY 2022-23 salary and benefit information for questioned individuals must be submitted to DPI through WISEgrants by August 31, 2023. This timeline will allow DPI to review the reclassification of costs from aidable to non-aidable and follow-up on any LEA requests to consider the costs eligible despite the lack of valid licensure.

This is a quick reminder to recode staff without a valid special education license to Project 019. Detailed instructions on complying with this requirement and other responses may be found on the online NVL Audit Report.
